We demonstrate here that the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans displays broad hormetie abilities, Hormesis, is the induction of beneficial effects by exposure to lock doses of otherwise harmful chemical or physical agents. Heat as well as pretreatment with hyperbaric oxygen or juglone (a chemical that generates reactive oxygen species) Significantly increased resistance to the Same challenge, Cross-tolerance between juglone and oxygen was also observed, The same heat or oxygen pretreatment regimens that induced subsequent stress resistance also increased life expectancy and maximum life span of populations undergoing normal aging. Pretreatment with ultraviolet or ionizing radiation did not promote subsequent resistance or increased longevity. In dose-response studies, induced thermotolerance paralleled the induced increase in life expectancy, which is consistent with a common origin.
